Burning Down Alaska Phantoms (feat. Michael McGough Of Being As An Ocean)
[Verse 1: Tobias Rische]
The night has always been
My dearest protection
From all that I've seen
My armor
My shelter
To flee from the world or my friend say
[Pre-Chorus: Tobias Rische]
Can you tell me?
If there's some better way
Than trading the colors I loved
And the pain
For the black as a cure
[Chorus: Tobias Rische]
But if I open my eyes
Can you promise me the darkness is gone and the light
Will return to our world, return to my eyes?
[Verse 2: Tobias Rische]
Too far to face the world
Too strayed from the path
My point of return
This silence
My prison
Fears blocking my vision
[Pre-Chorus: Tobias Rische]
Time never changed
Our perception of pain
Our concept of misery
Counting the days
Since I turned my back on what I loved
[Chorus: Tobias Rische]
But if I open my eyes
Can you promise me the darkness is gone and the light
Will return to our world, return to my eyes?
[Bridge: Tobias Rische]
The echoes
Are calling my name
The shadows
Clinging to my face
Through the night
Through the night
Leaving the track
Giving up the fight
Through the night
Through the night
I lost myself, I lost my pride
But at least I know that I am alive
[Verse 3: Michael McGough]
Cause in the night we're all alone
Wandering around
In search of the unknown
Chase the sun
Clarify your vision
And reach beyond the night
Reach beyond the night
[Chorus/Outro: Tobias Rische & Michael McGough]
But if I open my eyes
Cause in the night we're all alone
Can you promise me the darkness is gone and the light
Wandering around
In search of the unknown
Will return to our world return to my eyes?
Cause in the night we're all alone
Can you promise me the darkness is a gone and the light
Wandering around
In search of the unknown
Will return to our world return to my eyes?
